I tailor made three baju melayu's recently. Two at BAK tailor and another at Den Wahab. Bak workmanship is noticeably better, better customer service and most importantly better appreciation of any feedback you give.

When I told Den Wahab that the shoulders are too broad and that i wanted the pants to be slimmer, they looked at me in disbelief with a "this is just a baju melayu, don't complain" look. Den Wahab has done a few baju melayu's for malay celebrities before (you can see they post the pictures on the wall) but they don't look nice at all.

You don't want a too tight-fitting baju melayu but it shouldn't be so loose.

In contrast, BAK noted my instructions to make it fitting and i was pleased to have it. I'd definitely recommend BAK for first timers.
